The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Ephesians #30

Ephesians #30

Jesus Christ is the standard of walking. Ephesians chapters 4-6 concerns our walk. John wrote "so that you do not sin" (1Jo 2:1-6). The only thing that'll satisfy God as payment for sin if Jesus Christ death (1Jo 2:2). Four commands regarding the Spirit: (1) "Don't grieve the Holy Spirit" -- personal sin (Eph 4:30; (2) "Be filled by the Spirit" (Eph 5:18, Col 3:16); (3) "Do not quench the Holy Spirit" -- not doing what we are commanded (1Th 5:19); (4) "Walk by the Spirit" (Gal 5:16). "Be followers of God" -- imitate Christ ((Eph 5:1-2). Paul suggests imitating him (1Co 4:16) as he imitates Christ (1Co 11:1). "Walk in love as Christ has loved us" is the way to imitate God (Eph 5:2). We don't love because people are worthy, but like the Grace and Mercy of God, love the unworthy (Rom 5:8). "As an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma" (Eph 5:2). Walk by means of the Spirit (Gal 5:16), in good works (Eph 2:10), walk worthy (Eph 4:1), not as the unbelievers (Eph 4:17), in love (Eph 5:2), walk in light (1Jo 1:7, Eph 5:8); walk in wisdom (Eph 5:15), walk by Grace through faith (Col 2:6).
